Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds Nice one, Kiruat. Your stacking is improving and getting a lot cleaner.
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds I've decided to ban the 'Bottom blocks' feature since it has the potential to break the current game. Any questions, comments, concerns, or complaints?
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds Basically, when you place a tetromino, it takes gaps into account from the bottom of the well up, rather than the other way around. Tepples explained it better in a recent post in this thread: Cute lil' animation I whipped up demonstrating this behavior:
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds There is a new rec for me I made 1:36.03 I still have controller problems and my computer lag when i recording but I can play with this .

And the video link P.S: I would like to thanks you for your advices and your support thans a lot
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds Very nice game Kiruat! Your stacking took a huge turn for the better. Looks like you're beginning to recognize how everything fits together and how to incorporate that into the preview.
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds Hi! New record today I didn't make a video because when I play while i'm recording i lag too much to play correctly and I didn't know i'll do a rec because it was on a training time I was playing for fun and not for rec so sorry but no video this time :/

Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds i wonder what "average" really comes out to for people who like playing tetris... i'd bet about 1 piece per second. 2 per second seems to be the fanatic mark. no?
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds it'd be different for different games/scenes. but what i remember from tnet, 30-60 for noobs. 70-80 was average. 90-120 was good. 130-150 was great (i remember a bunch a people who leveled off at 120, then another group who leveled off at 140). and then there were a few crazy people at 160, and a loner at 180ish in his prime. i'd say for nowadays tetris: <1 tps for new. 1 tps for casual. 1.5 for experienced. 2 for someone who pushes themself. 2.5 for someone who is experienced and pushes themself (that's the hard part). and then >3 for players with all that and exceptional concentration/routine.
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds There is no way Tetris nubs can get 1tps. Not even close. 0.5 would be a far more accurate figure. I'd say 60tpm is a figure for people who are reasonably competent at it.
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds that's why i said <1. tps isn't even reasonable competent. i'm fairly sure any guy who hasn't played before can reach 1 tps after about 10 hours of playing.
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds I learned Tetris on an NES. I didn't get anywhere near 1 tps after my first 20 hours.
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds in nes tetris, you must soft drop, right? that takes about two seconds from top to bottom, doesn't it?
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds NES soft dropping is 0.5G, as are sections 19 through 28. But this TAS seems to go significantly faster than 1 tps because the player builds a platform (a la push) to build toward the top. I also used to play Microsoft Tetris, which had hard drop, but I couldn't go 1 tps in that either. On newer games, even with hard drop, I didn't immediately shoot to 1 tps the moment I bought Tetris DS. I had a hard time beating CPU 4 the first day.
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds i guess i'm wrong, but i seem to remember brand new players of tnet making 1tps very early on. maybe it's the versus angle.
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds New Score... Barely an increase. Code: Cleared 40 lines on 2007-11-20 at 21:19 (rot=Arika, lock=Move reset, rnd=7-piece Bag, spin=3-corner T, speed=Zero) (grav=Naive, drop=None, are=0 ms, das=150 ms Instant, shadow=Faint color, next=8 pieces) (10x20, bottom=Off) Played for 0:53.88 (active 0:49.26) Played 106 tetrominoes (118.03 per minute, 129.09 per active minute) Pressed 350 keys (3.30 per tetromino) Made 41 lines (single: 0; double: 4; triple: 3; home run: 6; T single: 0; T double: 0; T triple: 0) Sent 37 garbage (41.20 per minute) Left 10 blocks behind LJ score: 11500 EDIT: New score, 1 seconds faster. Oh and how do you decide who is higher if the time is exactly the same... Update 2: Fixed the same time... .07 second increase again.
